Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur

Bukit Bintang (GPS: 3.14678, 101.7113) is a downtown neighbourhood of Kuala Lumpur. The aream which somewhat overlaps the Golden Triangle of Kuala Lumpur, is served by Jalan Bukit Bintang, and encompasses the surrounding smaller roads. The Bukit Bintang neighbourhood can be split into two halves by Jalan Sultan Ismail. To the east of that road are large shopping malls and upscale hotels. West of Jalan Sultan Ismail, and particularly on the north side of Jalan Bukit Bintang, are smaller shops and hotels.

In addition to being a major shopping destination, it is also famous for street food, which is concentrated along Jalan Alor, a small road that runs parallel to Jalan Bukit Bintang. This area - as is the whole Jalan Bukit Bintang itself - comes alive at night fall.

The name Bukit Bintang, which means "star hill", refers to a physical entity. You can see the incline going up when you drive west along Jalan Bukit Bintang from Jalan Tun Razak. However the hill is not sufficiently steep to show its appearance, as the area is nowadays towered over by high rise buildings.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
